I was just posting this in another thread, as a reply

2 people I admire, rosie jones and lost voice guy are both disabled and UK comedians- they have made a real name for themselves and I admire them

do you admire anyone who is disabled who has made a name for them self?

I know of a man who had cerebral palsy who became a Christian speaker.

I am officially considered disabled. I do the best I can with writing, etc.

I'm not sure what all you consider disabilities, though.

cerebral palsy is what rosie jones has

she's now a really funny comedian, and regular guest on a consumer show fighting for disabled rights.

you do well with writing (I think so anyway)

Well what do you mean?

Many people have a disability according to whatever guidelines of their country/state. My husband has a disability according to our state’s criteria but he is a supervisor RN of a hospital unit so he made something out of himself for sure. Yes I admire him. He could try to go on disability but instead he got two college degrees and has a very challenging career. I don’t know about making a name. He isn’t famous lol but he overcomes his challenges every day

What do you mean by making a name? Like being famous?
